He makes enough threads that it wouldn't really be so bad if you locked some. I just don't think he should be banned as many (including you) have requested.

Yeah, that was me "as a poster". As a mod, I'd be different. Not that I really want to be, I just think I'd do an OK job. But, Menson has the chops for it, far more than me.
Honestly, one thing that I wouldn't stand for would be personal insults. I remember great threads from back in 2004 where we debated the GWB re-election. I never remember getting insulted. Heck, even during the PPACA debates, I don't remember it much. It's much more recent.
I don't mind a "I disagree with you, and here's why" post. But, when the post is, "You're an idiot, and here's why", I would do something about it.
I think I'd also have to do something about posts like "the GOP is _______", unless you happen to be talking about the actual party itself (that group of people in a building in DC that raises money and runs campaigns). If you're making a blanket statement about everyone who voted Republican in the last election, then it's obvious stereotyping.
On second thought, you probably don't want me doing this.

Shaman's role isn't to provide value himself, it is to create so many awful threads that we are forced to step in and save them with good conversation.

i think we've lost sight of my original point which was "no rules just right" == awful awful. well, not awful awful. those are at the newport creamery and goddamnit i haven't had an awful awful in a decade. no, 15 years? christ. so i guess just it's awful. point is, gotta have some rules.
